Rather than dying from exposure to the chemicals, Roy found
he had become a modern day Midas, causing all he touched to
explode! He quickly dispatched the spies and began to solve
the obvious problems with having an explosive touch. He
wrapped his hands in "fibro-wax", a mystery compound that
dampened the effect of the chemical. He began to wear a modified
radiation suit, with helmet, gloves, and overalls and became
known as the Human Bomb.
